Part I · Is your book a fit?
Partner seats (ranked for the current test)
USA business brokers are priority #1 for this recruitment window. Other seats remain valid but are paused for focused testing. Opt-in paths stay live.
Part II · The 60-second screen
Send us these people, skip everyone else
One rule: the person must be buying a business or real estate and need to raise or structure capital for it. Tech founders raising VC for their own startup, passive allocators, and vendors are not a fit. Four quick checks:
Part III · Scripts
Copy-paste intros (with the pre-frame that makes them close)
The single biggest driver of whether your referral converts is how you frame us before they book. Use these as written or adapt the voice; keep the two frames in the last block.
Email intro (forward or fresh) · Email
Subject: Intro: getting your acquisition funded properly
{{FirstName}}, you mentioned the {{deal type, e.g. "self-storage deal" / "HVAC acquisition"}} and the capital gap.
The team I point people to for this is Raises.com. They are not a lender and not a broker. They build the structure that makes a raise closeable: the fund or SPV entity, PPM, subscription and operating agreements, CFA-built financial model, and the data room, then introductions to debt and equity that fit the deal.
Two things worth knowing before you talk to them:
1. They only work with people buying a business or real estate. That focus is why their clients close.
2. Getting the structure wrong is the expensive path: deals die in diligence, or worse, you raise money non-compliantly and carry that risk forever. Paying to do it right once is cheaper than unwinding it.

{{FirstName}}, re the acquisition funding gap you mentioned: the team I trust for fund/SPV structure + investor docs is Raises.com. They only do acquisitions (business + real estate), and the legal structure is what makes lenders and investors say yes. Book here: {{referral_link}}LinkedIn DM intro · LinkedIn
{{FirstName}}, saw your note about the raise for the {{asset type}} deal. The group I refer people to for this is Raises.com: they build the whole capital structure (SPV/fund, PPM, sub docs, model, data room) and then introduce debt + equity. Acquisition deals only, which is why it works. Intro link: {{referral_link}}The pre-frame (say this BEFORE they book) · Any channel, verbal or written
Two expectations to set so your referral closes: 1. FRAME THE PROBLEM AS STRUCTURE, NOT MONEY. "You do not have a money problem, you have a structure problem. Investors and lenders say no to deals that are not packaged legally and financially. Raises.com fixes the package." 2. FRAME THE COST AGAINST THE ALTERNATIVE. "Doing this wrong costs multiples more: a dead deal, a broken LOI, or a non-compliant raise you can never undo. Their fee is small against the equity you are raising." A referral who arrives with those two frames already set closes at a completely different rate than a cold booking.
Replace {{referral_link}} with your personal link (format https://raises.com/refer/yourcode). No link yet? Business brokers start at https://raises.com/refer/business-broker; other seats use the opt-in paths above. Attribution and commission tracking are automatic from the first click.
Part IV · Ways to work together
Three structures, pick your lane
You intro, they book through your link, you earn 20% commission on what they pay. Attribution is automatic through your personal link and payouts are fast. Zero work after the intro.
You package the first step (e.g. a "capital readiness review" or deal-structure audit) under your own brand at your own price and keep 100% of it. We deliver the heavy build behind you and you still earn commission on the continuation.
Run capital raising as your own product line. License the platform and delivery (about $2,000 setup + $400/mo) and keep roughly half of the revenue on every client you bring.
Part V · The handoff
What happens after your intro (so you can promise it)
- They click your link and self-book a strategy call. No forms beyond the booking widget.
- On the call we map the deal: asset, structure, exemption, capital stack, timeline.
- If it fits, we build the vehicle: entity structure, PPM, subscription + operating agreements, CFA-grade financial model, data room, then debt and equity introductions.
- You see status through your partner link stats, and your commission pays out fast after they pay.
Never promise investor-meeting counts or guaranteed raise amounts on our behalf. Promise the thing we actually deliver: an institution-grade, legally sound structure that makes their raise closeable and keeps them safe.
FAQ
What does a referral earn me?
20% of referred revenue, tracked automatically from your link's first click through purchase.
Do I need to know securities law to refer?
No. You spot the moment ("buying + needs capital"), we handle everything technical.
Will you compete with my services?
No. We do not broker deals, lend, do tax work, or coach. We build capital structure and introduce capital. Your lane stays yours.
Who should I NOT send?
Startup founders raising VC, passive investors looking for deals to join, and anyone not actually acquiring a business or property.
Your booking page now carries the pre-frame itself: the top of https://raises.com/refer/yourcode explains the structure problem before the calendar, so even a bare link lands framed. Want to send a longer pre-read first? Forward https://raises.com/partner/intro with your code attached (e.g. /partner/intro?code=yourcode) and its CTA routes through your link.
